The EU has said they would expect to be able to admit Scotland into the EU. A big issue is one of currency because Sturgeon has indicated she wouldn't switch to the Euro.
I have no idea why our PM is digging in. If they vote to go, there will be no SNP MPs. The Scottish lot have hit the blue majority in Westminster for many years. Putting a wall up deceases probabilities of no blue majorities.
...surely they would be a net contributor to the EU, assuming they were allowed in?
There are 9 net contributors to the EU. If you look at who they are (Finland being an odd exception), they're all big countries with big economies. I can't see Scotland falling into that category.

That’s twice you’ve made a false statement. The Tories won 6 seats - not 1. Maybe you should concentrate on facts and less emotion. I realise you’re probably still drowning your sorrows from the remainer stuffing in the GE.
I have no issue with them having another referendum.
Duke of Edinburgh needs to snuff it first
and Balmoral will have to be sold too
A country with Scotland's financial clout would never be able to join the EU unless it accepted a change to the Euro. Besides that, would they be able to keep the uk currency if they were no longer part of the union?
I’d have thought all those questions (and more) need to be answered before holding a referendum - otherwise what are you asking people to vote on?I think i have read that they don't pass the financial criteria to join the EU, plus they don't want to join the Euro which i think is another mandatory requirement. Then there would have to be a permanent hard border, again won't happen.
I just cannot see it myself
